Rekindling an appreciate for the good things in life
"making a huge difference"
I wanted to take a minute to thank you for your time and energy. Like many people, I have become so discouraged by the mainstream media's bent towards bad news and the seemingly voracious appetite that drives it.
At first, I will admit, that your news articles weren't that interesting to me! Often, I've found myself skimming the articles, thinking "so what?!" But I believe this reaction is just from the desensitization that occurs with sensational news in the mainstream media. So I decided to continue receiving your RSS feed and guess what? Your daily stories have allowed me to rekindle a certain appreciate for the good things in life. The truth is, I was passing up a lot of good things in my life without realizing it. They just don't reach out and bite you on the butt like bad events do. But they are everywhere, just waiting to be noticed!
Please keep doing what you're doing. It is making a huge difference in the way I see my world.

Sufferer of Depression and Paranoia Finds Hope With Good News
and A Place to Focus Thank you so much for your website. I suffer from depression and paranoia, I feel like I can never truly be happy as I always get this sense of encroaching doom. I am not able to let my defences down at the risk of feeling naive.
Your website is just what I need to focus. Most of my fears are heightened by media sensationalism, which eventually boils down to being little more than hype.
We all need hope for the future, or else what do we have to live for?
Best wishes from South Africa

Antidote to the fear-driven horrors of terrorism coverage
I was just saying to my husband last night "wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a news website that reported ONLY good news, instead of the fear-driven horrors we see on normal news sites". So I did a quick search, and here you are.
Have enjoyed looking through some of your stories, particularly the "Good Things the Muslims Gave Us" which was a great antidote to the transcripts of the cockpit voice recorders from one of the planes that went down on 9/11 which I was reading last night.
Keep up the great work.

Since Iraq war began, depression set in;
Good news lifted it, made enjoyment possible again
I want to thank you for having this website. When the war in Iraq started, I went into a depression state. I felt constantly worried and agitated and it was hard to enjoy doing things I loved to do.
Then I found your site. It lifted my spirits and helped get me out of the funk I was in. Now I'm going to school and enjoying the things I like to do.
And whenever I feel depressed, I visit your site and see what new good news has happened. Thank you.

Psychologist proves life is livable for depressed, suicidal patient
using Good News Network
I anticipate this may become the most popular site in the world....close anyway.
I'm a clinical and police psychologist. A 13 year-old boy was depressed and suicidal as he entered my office. He cited TV news as proof that there was no point to living, "Everything is out of control, it's all bad news, people are killing each other, terrorism, corruption, kids being slaves."
After I let him cry, I explained how TV news worked -- that it didn't reflect reality accurately -- and I showed him your site. He started to cheer up. He smiled and gave me a hug. Life was okay again.
Your site is proof of good news in the universe. Thanks.
Respectfully,
Dr. Kevin Keough

Drowning in coverage of terrorism; Searched for positive news,
Felt better after just 10 minutes
As of late I've felt suffocated by today's news that rains down a storm of bad news. Tired of drowning in coverage of death, war, terrorism, etc. I decided today to search the web for positive news, instead of just news.
I discovered the Good News Network. Thank you for lifting my spirits, after only 10 minutes of reading I felt better about the world in which we live.
